Quote: Is this possible to get Mandrake 9.0 running on VMware using Virtual Disk?, I'm going to keep asking, I don't think that I'm the only person in the world with this question, I'd like an answer please. Here's a nice site with a link to a PDF http://homepages.borland.com/efg2lab/Library/Kylix/VMware/ I used this myself (also includes info on Kylix and Samba). The only problem I had was when setting up the video card. My monitor and card were running at 16bit, but I could only get the test pattern if I said to use 15bit. I think this is a vmware thing. It's nice that this version of Mandrake natively recognizes and supports the VMware virtual graphics card. This document shows how to install vmware tools. You can opt not to do this (as I did) and maybe save some headaches. But, you don't get the nice mouse/window crossover features. While it shouldn't make a difference, I also opted to used a virtual IDE instead of the default SCSI.
